Michael A. Tanzi v. State of Florida; Michael A. Tanzi v. Secretary, Department of Corrections & Michael A. Tanzi v…

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Tanzi’s successive postconviction motion, denied habeas relief and stays of execution, and dismissed his emergency all-writs petition. It held that the warrant schedule and public-records rulings did not violate due process, that his lethal-injection challenge was untimely and meritless, and that his challenges to gubernatorial warrant authority and the jury findings supporting his death sentence were procedurally barred or foreclosed. The court also concluded that the later authority relied on by Tanzi did not undermine the prior decisions rejecting his jury-trial claims.
